If you have a grey water tank don’t give it up. You cannot have one built any more as they require everything to go into the septic. But bleach is the worst thing you can do to your septic tank along with all that new antibacterial soaps which tend to kill off all the bacteria that keep the septic tank clean.
Way back when many used to have a seperate tank for grey water like you have.
As for resale there will always be someone willing to pay and upgrade if you do not.
